Free and Reduced Meal Applications
Our school relies on families completing the Free and Reduced Price Meal Application for educational funding throughout the year. Even though every student will receive all meals free, it is beneficial for the school if you could fill out the Free and Reduced Price Meal Application. It also may help give qualifying families discounts on home services such as cable, internet, etc. If your family would like to apply, please complete the Free/Reduced Application under "Important Documents" or applications can be accessed in the front office.
